Sorry but, isn't this textbook Microsoft? Aside being more blatant, careless and on the nose; what's different than past Microsoft?

These people distilled the knowledge of AppGet's developer to create the same thing from scratch and "Thank(!)" him for being that naive.

Edit: Yes, after experiencing Microsoft for 20+ odd years, I don't trust them.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Morged I got nothing...

I too was confused until I looked at the included screenshot.

This is just another reminder that powerful global entities are composed of lazy, bored individuals. It’s a wonder we get anything done.

LinkedIn is also a great example of this stuff at the moment. Every day I see posts where someone clearly took a slide or a diagram from somewhere, then had ChatGPT "make it better" and write text for them to post along with it. Words get mangled, charts no longer make sense, but these people clearly aren't reading anything they're posting.

It's not like LinkedIn was great before, but the business-influencer incentives there seem to have really juiced nonsense content that all feels gratingly similar. Probably doesn't help that I work in energy which in this moment has attracted a tremendous number of hangers-on looking for a hit from the data center money funnel.
